Hazelnut

5515 Magazine St.

Bryan Batt has been collecting crystal since he was a teenager; at Hazelnut, he and his partner, Tom Cianfichi, sell amazing pieces, like a cut-crystal Italian decanter with 18-karat-gold Greek-key trim ($228).

Interior decorator Ann Koerner mixes avant-garde pieces, like a giant origami sculpture by local artist Mia Kaplan ($1,600), with vintage European finds, like a 31-piece Limoges tea set by George Rouard of Paris ($500).

At her three-month-old atelier-workshop, local artist Jamie Meeks sells her own pieces, like anthill-shaped white clay vessels that double as vases (from $150), as well as vintage finds like a huge wine-tasting table made from old barge wood ($2,800).

This 1860s house is full of objects in a quirky mix of periods and styles. In the front parlor: An opulent glass chandelier ($4,000), a bronze greyhound ($1,375) on a sheepskin rug by Bowron ($1,200) and cut-velvet-and-silk drapes by the in-house drapers.
